Operations on Environment

Odin provides users with the capabilities where users can use CLI commands to customise the default suspension and resume schedule for kube based environments. Currently the following operations are supported:

1. Skip my environment from suspension

2. Manually suspend my environment

3. Resume my environment

Skip a kubernetes environment from auto-suspension

//please replace YourEnvName with the environment name that you want to operate on
odin operate env --name YourEnvName --operation skip-suspend

The above command will not downscale any components of the environment in the next auto suspension schedule and defer this to next to next suspension schedule. E.g: If the auto-suspension is scheduled for 2024-01-01 20:00PM, and you execute the above command at 2024-01-01 19:00PM, your environment will not be suspended at 20:00PM. However, next day your environment will again be suspended at 2024-01-02 20:00PM.

Manual suspension of environment

//please replace YourEnvName with the environment name that you want to operate on
odin operate env --name YourEnvName --operation suspend

The above command will downscale all the components of the environment with an ETA of <2minutes for executing the request. However, this operation is applicable only for containerised components. The environment remains suspended until user manually resumes the environment.

Manually resume an environment

//please replace YourEnvName with the environment name that you want to operate on
odin operate env --name YourEnvName --operation resume

The above command will upscale all the downscale component of the particular environment. This operation can be used to resume any auto suspended or manually suspended environment.
